Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford went 2-for-3 in Friday's game versus the Athletics with a pair of free passes upping his average to .271 on the season. The 24-year-old now has hits in seven of his last eight games although he's struggling to find opportunities to score and drive in runs at the bottom of the lineup. Crawford has taken over the reigns as the starting shortstop giving him some appeal in AL-only leagues. He doesn't run much or hit for much power limiting his overall fantasy value, but if he continues to find success with the bat, the counting stats will surely follow.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Domingo Santana recorded a double and a pair of singles in a losing effort Friday night. He also scored a run and drove in his 39th RBI of the season busting out of a 3-for-21 skid. Santana's play has been streaky this season with his hits usually coming in bunches followed by spans of hitless games as his average sits at a healthy .274. He hasn't hit a homer since May 9, but thankfully he's still managing ways to drive in runs keeping his fantasy value intact. Santana's ceiling is high as a 26-year-old despite his slumps and tendencies to strikeout, making him valuable in all formats.

The Houston Astros are expected to recall OF Derek Fisher from Class AAA Round Rock Saturday, May 25, according to multiple sources.

Derek FisherMay 25 11:20am ET

The Houston Astros have recalled right fielder Derek Fisher from Triple-A Round Rock. He replaces outfielder George Springer, who is expected to be placed on the injured list after leaving Friday's game with a hamstring injury, on the active roster. Fisher was really raking it with the Express to the tune of .314/.379/.555 with eight home runs and six steals in 154 plate appearances. This will be the 25-year-old's second stint with the big league club this year as he spent two days with the team earlier in the month, going 0-for-1 at the plate in two appearances. He is expected to compete with Michael Brantley, Josh Reddick, Jake Marisnick and Tony Kemp for at-bats. While Fisher has yet to get on track at the major league level in three years -- hitting just .195 with a 37.9 percent strikeout rate -- his combination of power and speed could be useful for fantasy owners in deeper leagues depending on the amount of playing time he receives.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 1-for-4 with two RBI and two strikeouts Friday night in Milwaukee. Harper drove in the Phillies first run of the game with a sacrifice fly and added an RBI double in the fifth inning. Unfortunately for Harper he also struck out twice in the game bringing his strikeout rate on the season to an astronomical 30.1 percent. That strikeout rate combined with his 11.1 percent infield-fly-ball rate means over 41 percent of his plate appearances are ending in automatic outs. Fantasy owners can only hope Harper turns it around soon. The Phillies are scheduled to face a right-handed pitcher in their next five games so hopefully, the lefty-swinging Harper can get something going in those games.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored Friday at Milwaukee. It was Hoskins' first multi-hit game since May 8, a span in which he's hit a paltry .164. The main issue for Hoskins has been the strikeouts. He's whiffing at a career-high 25.5 percent rate this season. If he can cut back on the strikeouts the rest of his numbers look pretty good. He's making hard contact at an elite rate of 47.6 and hitting almost 50 percent fly balls. This has lead to a very good .519 slugging percentage. Despite the recent slump Hoskins appears to be fine. This wouldn't be a bad time to make a buy-low trade offer if the Hoskins owner is frustrated with the recent lack of production.

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras will sit for a second consecutive day on Saturday versus the Reds. Its odd that one of the Cubs best offensive players has been out without an injury for two straight days, but manager Joe Maddon prefers to use Victor Caratini behind the plate when Yu Darvish is on the mound. Contreras pinch-hit Friday and picked up a RBI. Caratini will bat sixth versus Tyler Mahle and is an intriguing cheaper option in DFS leagues.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. hit his third home run in five games, in a 4-3 loss to Houston Friday night. The 29-year-old didn't club his first home run until May 20 but he now has three in a week. Bradley is certainly capable of hitting the long ball, tallying 13 and 17 in the past two seasons, respectively. While he'll likely never get back to the 26 he hit in 2016, it seems the outfielder is slowly finding himself at the plate. A .170/.259/.272 clip isn't effective at all for season-long fantasy, but if you want to ride the hot hand in DFS for a dirt cheap price, Bradley has been a shot-in-the-dark option of late.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale lasted six innings Friday, allowing four runs, only two of which were earned, in a 4-3 loss to Houston. Sale punched out five and walked two, while also surrendering his 10th home run of the year. The southpaw threw just 56 of 89 pitches for strikes, including just seven swinging strikes. The Astros benefited from Boston errors in the second and fourth innings, which pushed them out to an early 3-0 lead. It wasn't a bad start by any means, but it was a return to earth for the 30-year-old, after posting a 69:11 K:BB with just 10 earned runs over his past six starts. His record sits at 1-6, but five of those losses came in the first month of the season, when the Sox were struggling as a team. He'll get the Indians Wednesday, where he'll have the chance to get back to double-digit strikeouts and should be a popular DFS option.

Cleveland Indians RHP Mike Clevinger (back) will head to Arizona for extended spring training Saturday, May 25, in order to see some game action before beginning a rehab assignment.

Fernando Tatis Jr.May 25 10:03am ET

San Diego Padres SS Fernando Tatis Jr. (hamstring) has been participating in extended spring training games at the organization's complex in Peoria, Ariz. However, there is no timetable for his return.

Corey KluberMay 25 9:53am ET

Cleveland Indians RHP Corey Kluber (forearm) had his cast removed Thursday, May 23, after X-rays showed that his pitching arm has healed to the point where wearing one would no longer be necessary. He currently has a removable splint and is now able to do range-of-motion exercises, according to manager Terry Francona, who added that he will be re-evaluated in two weeks. In the meantime, Kluber has been doing cardio work such as riding a stationary bike and sprinting in the outfield.

Trent ThorntonMay 25 9:50am ET

Toronto Blue Jays starter Trent Thornton allowed three runs on four hits through six innings of work during a 6-3 loss to the San Diego Padres. He struck out 10 batters while walking three. Thornton has produced a 1-4 record this season to go along with a 4.42 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 60/25 K/BB rate. The 25-year-old solely remains a streaming option that has high strikeout upside. Thornton will look to keep things rolling in his next projected start against the Colorado Rockies.

New York Yankees SS Didi Gregorius (elbow) is slated to begin an official rehab assignment with Class A Tampa Saturday, May 25. He will spend two or three games there before continuing his assignment with Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Mike FoltynewiczMay 25 9:40am ET

Atlanta Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz allowed one run on five hits in six innings of work during a 5-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. Foltynewicz struck out seven batters without walking anyone. The 27-year-old now owns a 1-3 record on the season to go along with a 5.67 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 24/8 K/BB rate. Foltynewicz has now thrown back-to-back quality starts after struggling through his first four appearances of the campaign. He will continue to try and rediscover his All-Star form in his next projected start against the Detroit Tigers.

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson was 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI during Friday's 5-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. It was a welcomed performance from Swanson, who had cooled off in recent weeks after a dominant start to the season. Swanson owns a .262/.319/.492 slash line to go along with 10 home runs, 35 RBI, and five stolen bases. His exposure to a potent Braves' lineup makes him a serviceable fantasy asset in most mixed formats.

New York Yankees LHP James Paxton (knee) continued to experience discomfort in his left knee while throwing four innings in an extended spring training game Friday, May 24. Manager Aaron Boone said the next course of action would not be determined until Saturday, May 25, after the team sees how he feels.

Troy TulowitzkiMay 25 9:23am ET

New York Yankees SS Troy Tulowitzki (calf) logged nine at-bats in his first simulated game and could begin an official rehab assignment next week. He has been fielding grounders at second base, shortstop and third base.

Pete AlonsoMay 25 9:20am ET

New York Mets first baseman Peter Alonso hit yet another home run on Friday against the Detroit Tigers. Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo shot that was his 17th of the season. The rookie is tied for third in all of baseball in home runs behind only Cody Bellinger and Christian Yelich and should continue to provide some major power in the middle of the Mets order.
